Random thoughts (what else does a cat have)

Random thoughts (what else does a cat have):Kudos to the National Park Service for the new and sleek intersection near the end of  US 6 and Herring Cove Beach / Provence Lands Road flowing SW just three quarters of a mile to Inn at the Moors.That reminds me to tell you first-time drivers that the road to the outer Cape goes around in a circle.Just to keep it interesting, you drive E until Orleans rotary, then N to Truro and W to P’town and SW to Inn at The Moors.  No street sign still for Province Lands Road.Don’t panic!


A couple more thoughts …..Listening to NPR and they are talking about “post apocalyptic vulnerability” so it’s time to go out on the roof for fresh air.I can’t be in P’town and think like that.I enjoy TV, too.Meer cats are OMG .I’m right in the TV.And those Red Sox’s brilliant management and what a competition with the Yankees.(15/0)


From my perch on the roof,  I see artists painting the view, happy hour at the BBQ, cars stopping in the street
to photograph the moor and guests enjoying the 85 degree pool water.Think I’ll nap.


The staff at the Moors is great.  Emile (Jean) beat back the bush and Paige moved the earth to create
welcoming gardens for you.Then it rained for 4-5 days (at night , thanks) and the blooms are just waiting for
warmer weather.Waiting for June 21st,  the first day of summer.Yippie !


Administrative business:  There is some confusion about the Light House Room; some people expected to be on the
third floor where I live.Sorry.But the Light House Room is very special.Located over the office end, oversized, decorated with four poster bed, sofa and wide screen TV, it has a fabulous view of Wood End Light House while nestled close to the moor.(Check it out on www.innatthemoors.com.


Restaurants:


I had scrumptious leftovers from The Mews, ahi tuna sashimi (hold the wasabi).Moms said the new dining room has a serene atmosphere.


Sal’s Place, a favorite for many years, is for sale. What a lovely compound on Cape Cod Bay with views of two light houses and Provincetown harbor (omg, I’ll take the unit on the wharf.)


Carnival Week theme is Summer of Love.The Women  Innkeepers will have a float to celebrate twenty-five years.Peace, love and go-go boots !


I’ll say good-bye until the Fourth.


Love bites,


Bob

Spring is sprung, the grass is rise; now I wonder where the birdies is

Spring is sprung, the grass is rise; now I wonder where the birdies is. Actually, I know very well where the robins are. Ah yes, the tulips, too are budding and the Moors is coming alive after a long, cold winter. Around P'Town the sounds of spring- chirping birds in the morning, pounding hammers in daytime, and peeps in the night herald the change in season.

We open May 14 for Single Women's Weekend followed by Memorial Day. That's the start of a six month season of fun in the sun.

It looks like another great whale watching season. The Center for Coastal Studies in P'town reports thirty right whales and their calves identified between Race Point and Wood End Light Houses right in front of the salt marsh and dunes at Inn at The Moors. This is twenty per cent of the worlds population of these endangered mammals. The nutritious phytoplankton of Cape Cod Bay and the wonderful people who visit are responsible for this event. Bring binocculars!

I traveled this winter. Drove to Florida and back. I sit on the driver's lap the entire way; it's the only safe place in a car. Love the motel stops, but hate to get in the car again so every morning I hide. Moms had to use a golf club to route me from under the beds. Otherwise, I'm no trouble!

Really looking foreward to seeing my friends. You know who you are. A special hello to Gail and Pat, Anne and Mary Louise, the Murphys, David and Frank, Alex and Tom, and Rosemary in Jersey. Hi!!!

See you soon.

Love, BOB
